“There are three primary components in the system: the bacteria, the surface and the solution that the bacteria are digesting. Any change in one variable will affect the other two, and what we want to do is find out how to tweak each one to optimize the performance of the whole system.”
“One of the hallmarks of our approach is the vigorous feedback between our computer models and our laboratory work. The computer simulations help us perform better experiments, and the laboratory tests help us design better simulation, and the overall combination saves time and money.”
